Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 lbs medium shrimp (26 - 30 count )
2 tbsp cajun seasoning
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp dried italian seasoning
fresh ground black pepper
2 cups water
2 chicken bouillon cubes
2 tbsp butter
1 cup quick-cooking grits
1 tbsp tomato paste
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
3 1/2 oz extra-sharp cheddar cheese
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp garlic, minced
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/2-1 tsp hot sauce

Directions:

Peel and de-vein shrimp.
In a small bowl, combine Cajun seasoning, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the shrimp to coat well and set the shrimp aside.
Next, make your grits: in a medium saucepan, bring water, chicken bullion cubes, and 2 tablespoons butter to a boil.
Slowly add the grits, whisking often with a wire whisk for 5 minutes.
Add tomato paste, whipping cream, and cheese.
Keep whisking for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the grits become creamy.
In a large pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
Add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
Add the spice-coated shrimp. Cook until done and tender; do not overcook.
Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside in a bowl.
To make the roux-sauce, use the same pan and add 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to the remains. Stir with a wooden spoon.
Cook 10 - 15 minutes or until roux becomes a medium-tan color.
Slowly add the chicken stock and whipping cream.
Whisk together and cook for 2 minutes, then whisk in Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Set aside.
To serve, place a scoop of grits on a plate. Top with shrimp, and drizzle with roux sauce.
